Watch Rik Mayall on the set of his final film

The comedian Rik Mayall was captured joking around on the set of the Dutch
film The Escape which he was filming in Portugal just last week

The final images of Rik Mayall clowning around on camera have shown him looking fit and healthy on the set of his last film De Ontsnapping [The Escape], a Dutch movie in which he plays a gentleman landlord.

The footage, uploaded to the film’s Facebook page just a week ago, shows Mayall laughing and joking with the cast, calling himself “the greatest pan-global phenomenon that’s ever existed”.

“I am THE Rick Mayall,” he declares to camera. “Don’t forget I got my doctorate at Exeter University so I am Dr The Rick Mayall, pan-global phenomenon, In Escape.”

“Wherever you are in the world, go and see The Escape. It’s great. More than great, it’s got Rik Mayall in it.
